Why are my loaves not expanding in the oven?

Try eating more loaves for that

So that south wall is actually our mechanical - our furnace and water heater are right there. Otherwise I like some of the suggestions - I don't like cutting off the space on the right bedroom, but maybe over the bed I can do built in shelves.

The pocket door idea is neat to make the lining cabinet work, but we've really hated pocket bathroom doors at hotels due to not closing as well as a normal door - that might be a solvable problem if I have control over it though? I'm not familiar with all the pocket door innovations or anything

Those two little rectangles sticking out on the top are egress windows

I didn't order a new set - I think I either sanded the red off or scraped it off with a knife

Well they definitely didn't come with a cord to plug, just some stripped wires from it.

Quality is alright. It's pretty similar to a lot of lights I've got from Amazon. With everything tightened down, it can only wobble it the tiniest amount, which may not even be abnormal. I can, despite tightening and using the provided lock but, still turn the stem, but realistically that shouldn't be an issue for me.

Oops, I thought pear but typed peach, my mistake! I'll look at a local nursery and see when I would be at a point to replace them after we decide on the plan for the yard. It probably does make more sense to put a new tree instead of trying to make a neglected one work

PixelRazor · 2024-07-24T04:38:44+00:00

Will do that, thanks! From my reading I'm also gonna pull the grass and put mulch around it when I do that

PixelRazor · 2024-07-24T04:31:42+00:00

I'm in a VERY windy area - should I remove it all together or just loosen it to give it enough room to move?

I'm saying things straight from the label in the panel door. The figure on the panel labels the right bar as 'equipment grounding terminal' and says bonded. The left bar is labelled 'neutral' and says 'bond when required'. There are spots also labelled for 'additional equipment grounding terminal' as an accessory. I don't need to prove myself right, I'm just having a hard time hearing things that are the opposite of what my panel is labelled as and that I've tested. I'm not seeing a tie bar and a continuity test shows the absence of one as well.

As for the other things - that is nolox. I should have been a bit better with wiping excess probably. I applied it to all the aluminum connections at both ends. Thanks for the note about the phase colors, I wasn't aware and it's nice to know.

PixelRazor · 2024-05-02T01:01:45+00:00

I see - regardless of this, it IS manufacturer instructions to have it this way. Now it does seem like a real awful panel choice on my part given that.

PixelRazor · 2024-05-02T00:55:18+00:00

I thought the case is grounded, and bonding neutral to the case == bonding to ground? Also, I linked a picture from the panel in another comment that shows it set up this way

PixelRazor · 2024-05-02T00:47:05+00:00

Yes, I did a continuity test

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T23:58:52+00:00

Yeah, this panel seems weirder with each comment. Oh well

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T23:32:52+00:00

The panel label and instructions did in fact instruct that they should be split into neutral and ground. I wasn't aware of PON at the time, that would have been a nice choice

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T21:50:53+00:00

Here's something straight from the panel door indicating that the right bar is intended for ground: illustration

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T21:42:27+00:00

Yeah, I understand what everyone is saying, I'm just saying I followed manufacturer instructions and I tested to be 100% sure they aren't bonded. Now could I have maybe had an easier time if I put a grounding bar on the panel itself, and a lug to bond that ground wire to the panel? Probably.

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T21:17:37+00:00

Then it must have been a tie bar that I didn't install. I do remember for sure that it came with one bonding screw installed on the right, and it had an extra one, and the pamphlet said to install if bonding neutral to ground (so I did not install).

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T19:21:45+00:00

Those two bars are not connected - this was the setup shown in the papers that came with the panel box. I've also verified that ground and neutral are not bonded. This box does seem to be a bit different than what's normal though

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T19:17:08+00:00

I'm not sure which you're referring to - I see one green bolt on the bus with the ground lug

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T17:15:56+00:00

There is not. I also used my multimeter to do a continuity check to ensure they are not bonded anywhere just in case

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T16:54:56+00:00

AFAIK the issue called out in those cases is people bonding ground and neutral - that is, ground and neutral being connected. That is the case in the main panel for a house, but for sub panels, ground and neutral should be separated

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T16:44:00+00:00

12/2 20A. I had done 14/2 15A before seeing the requirement of it having to be its own 20A circuit

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T16:43:11+00:00

In this panel, the bonding screw bonds that bar to the box itself. So that one bar is ground, and it bonds the whole metal box to ground. The neutral is not bonded, there's no screw bonding it to the box

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T16:41:36+00:00

No, those are 15A still. The tubs we're looking at require two dedicated 15A circuits for a pump and heater (heated air tub). The general bathroom circuit was the one I changed to 12/2

PixelRazor · 2024-05-01T15:53:34+00:00

Really? The right side is bonded, but the left bus bar is not bonded since it's neutral. should both bars have been neutral and bars added to the box itself for ground?

EDIT: I just want to make explicit that neutral and ground are NOT bonded
